Update case configurations

Update case configurations

edit

Updates the connector’s case closure settings.

Console supports only Elasticsearch APIs. Console doesn’t allow interactions with Kibana APIs. You must use curl or another HTTP tool instead. For more information, refer to Run Elasticsearch API requests.

Connectors are used to interface with external systems. You can only call this method after you have created a connector (see Create connector). After a connector has been created and assigned, call Create or update an external incident to send cases to the external system.
